IssueDetail
Issue Detail: In 2021, the City of Sacramento was awarded a California Energy Commission (CEC) Sacramento Electric Vehicle (EV) Blueprint Grant of which Task 5 of the grant is for EV infrastructure installations. The goal of task 5 is to install at least 34 Level 2 networked EV chargers (for a minimum of 66 EV connectors) across 13 libraries and community centers located within the City, with two-thirds of connectors located within disadvantaged communities. Implementation of this grant will assist the City with EV charger installations, facilitating the City's alignment with Statewide EV goals. Phase 5B of the project will install 4 EV chargers, with a total of 8 EV connectors at Valley-Hi North Laguna Library.
The City intends to remove one (1) London Plane tree with a diameter at standard height of eight inches as part of this public project. The removal of one City-owned tree is needed to accommodate the construction of an EVCS charger located near the tree. The City's Urban Forestry Department has reviewed and approved the removal of this tree. Pursuant to City Code Chapter 12.56 and City Ordinance No. 2016-0026, City Council approval is needed to remove the tree for construction of the Project.
